Penicillin was one of the first antibiotics to be discovered and is still widely used today. The drug is actually derived from the Penicillium mold. The first person to notice Penicillin was French medical student, Ernest Duchesne in 1898. In 1928, bacteriologist Alexander Flemming, working at St. Mary's Hospital in London, re-discovered the popular antibiotic.
